level questions: Connective Tissue Components of Muscles

Question	Answer
It is a sheet or broad band of fibrous connective tissue that supports and surrounds muscle and other organs of the body.	Fascia
It separates the muscle from the skin	Superficial Fascia (Subcutaneous Fats)
It contains adipose tissue that insulates the body	Superficial Fascia (Subcutaneous Fats)
It lines the body walls and the limbs	Deep Fascia
It holds muscle with similar function together	Deep Fascia
It allows free movement of muscles, carries nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels.	Deep Fascia
Fills the space between muscles	Fascia
Three layers of connective tissue that extend from the deep fascia:	Epimysium Perimysium Endomysium
A dense layer of collagen fibers that surrounds the entire muscle	Epimysium
It separates the muscle from surrounding tissues and organs	Epimysium
Surrounds group of 10 to 100 or more individual bundles of muscle fibers called a fascicle	Perimysium
Surrounds the individual skeletal muscle fibers (fascicle) and interconnects adjacent muscle fibers	Endomysium
Scattered between the endomysium and the muscle fibers are satellite cells, embryonic stem cells that function in the repair of damaged muscle tissue	Endomysium
Narrow bands of connective tissue that connect muscles to bone	Tendons
Bands of connective tissue that join bone to bone	Ligaments
Bands of connective tissue that attach flat muscle to another muscle or to several bones	Aponeuroses
The attachment of the muscle tendons or aponeuroses to the stationary bone, which is usually proximal	Origin
It is the attachment of the other muscle tendons or aponeuroses to the movable bone which is usually distal	Insertion
